Mission
StatementTake a close look at the
sites: Craigslist, Jim Breen, Soko Gakuen, etc. What do they share in
common? You'd think you'd stepped into a time machine that has shot you
back to the Web's pre-commercial days? Mosaic, NCSA, Marc Andreessen?
There are no fancy graphics. No flashy animation. No banner ads.
There's hardly even color. It has all the appeal of an elementary
school mimeograph. And that's by design. Stay true to its
original
"populist values” that draw people together. Online communities
change
over time. Simple and fast is good, Craig Newmark agrees, because it
makes the site easy to use. This practice will help people make life
easy. And provide a culture of trust, one that's very useful and very
effective. "Ostentation and ornamentation are disdained as vulgar, and
simplicity and understatement considered as signs of sophistication
(Zen)." Think why people use Twitter? Prajna. 円融三諦
